I’ll be watching my yearly staples but would love some new suggestions as well. We could all use a decent dark one as we exit this hellscape of a summer.

My yearly list:

  • Hellraiser (1987)
  • Psycho (1960)
  • The Guest (2014)
  • Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
  • Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
  • Cabin in the Woods (2011)
  • It follows (2014)

These are the ones I almost always see over the next two months and I sprinkle in a lot of others from brand new to very old ones. Let’s hear yours! (And we can talk about them too!)

    I’m hearing nothing but amazing things about Talk To Me and it just hit streaming. I think I might save this one for the perfect night.

    If you like slow burn I love love love The Invitation

      Excellent ones. I do watch both of them regularly but maybe not every year. Been a while since I’ve seen The Shining though. That one is going on the list.

    • chopping mall (1986)
    • the thing (1982)
    • the blob (1980)
    • invasion of the body snatchers (1978, Donald sutherland)
    • the Mist (2007, B/W)
    • Army of Darkness
    • alien

        Nice! It’s such a perfect “spooky season” movie, and most people don’t know about it.
